Morning in LeFrak City

On a cluttered Queens
balcony he stands, watching
the complex decay.

I’ve lied to you

A haiku a day?
Not quite. Some days the tap runs,
some days it’s bone dry.

Ides of March

‘Beware!’ Caesar was
told. Like teens in horror films
he didn’t listen.

Obama’s turban

Headgear gone wild I
tip my hat to idiots
who have flipped their lids.

Negative campaigning

With all this trash talk
even the winner comes out
smelling like garbage.

Bad choice for the Oscars

Could Cameron Diaz
maybe have done her hair? That
ponytail  so wrong.

Headache

Accomplished nothing
’til I took Motrin a whip
that tamed this tiger

Watching after 2 am

TV morphs into
loser land infomercials
for acne weight loss

February dilemma

What of those born on
the 29th, their birthday
once every four years?

Senseless

After the illness
taste dulls on the tongue, food just
fuel to run this husk.
